[@IwanttoliveinParis]

I wanted her to go into Fallen Angel .... BBBBrrrrrrrooooooOOOOWWWW "Tears of joy at the birth of a brother .... "

[@grosswesir]

We want a full King Crimson cover by Petra 😍

[@pandoraseriani2546]

You have to know the original to truly appreciate how impossible this is! You're now forever on my playlist! Thank you for knowing a great when you hear it and doing it amazing justice!

[@PetHaden]

Thank you so much!!

[@MrLeoYaus]

I said the exact same thing to my son tonight when I phoned to say I'd be sending links.

[@Libertarianne]

Your taste is only exceeded by your talent! You bring me joy!

[@zappancojoey2277]

That was the perfect shade of red.

[@hubertvancalenbergh9022]

I particularly like the middle section.

[@ianinvancouverbc]

amazing - love it - I hope Mr Fripp gets to hear this

[@feanorian21maglor38]

He has, now, he just sent me here

[@vdrumrnwv]

Well done! Being a Crim fan for 45 years, I appreciate a new approach to their classic tunes! Thanks!

[@extanthropy]

I just found a note to myself on my iPhone from over five years ago that said “listen to Petra Haden King crimson a cappella” I don’t remember writing this note or who would’ve told me about it, but I’m glad I finally found it and listened to it. What an incredible achievement must’ve taken so much hard work to record this.So cool!

[@bedmen]

I keep returning here for this great rendition.

[@TsunamiBeefPies]

I listen to this and all I can do is grin! What an accomplishment! A beautiful rendition, and your voice is sublime! Thank you SO much for this!!

[@ThomasJester1968]

Stunningly brilliant as usual. Playing this on my show today for the golden anniversary.

[@katel30]

This is so incredible Petra Haden. My ears are happy that they heard this performance.

[@andaloudog]

I am today old before I found this and it is wonderful. So joyful, as I am now too. A feeling I've gotten many times from a bassist named Haden, actually.

[@submoronicbomb]

I vote for the whole album, just like this, perfect.

[@bigfootpegrande]

Robert [Fripp himself ] just gave a shout about you, just to remind me I am already signed for the channel!

[@jeanpaulfiliod3621]

Listened to The Sheltering Sky and Matte Kudasai. When I saw Red, I thought it was a joke… Such a nice surprise, thank you Petra, it made my day (and others probably 🌿)

[@odrioper]

A wonderful birthday present for King Crimson. Thank you Ms. Haden. I am very grateful for you superb work!

[@SelwynJ33]

This... is astonishing

[@michaelpdawson]

Awesome! Petra is always amazing.

[@RodrigoPalmieriMusic]

RIP John Wetton

[@johnferg02]

Petra does it again - this time with one of THE best pieces of music ever. What a combination!

[@MrMftech]

The Singers Unlimited meets King Crimson...Excellent arrangements, Gene Purling will be proud of your talent...

[@adam872]

This is a complete triumph IMHO. I loved Frame by Frame too.

[@paulmantovani2738]

Just like me in the shower.

[@bernhardsart]

Abso-fucking-lutely Brilliant!!!!! Robert would love it!!!!! Thank You for Posting!!!!

[@davidryan7386]

I can feel and sense and hear bruford clattering away. As a singer since I can recall (52 years now) this is diamond. Thank you so for following your muse so deeply.

[@robertfripp62]

una demencia de tan bueno....... !!!! eriza la piel escucharlo y es adictivo.....!!!!

[@degonzal]

Amazing!!!...I love it from the first second!!...middle part is just incredible!!

[@mutlucansihman]

Amazing, extraterrestrial, fantastic, mindblowing.. These are the only words that i can use for this amazing cover. What a voice man? If i would make a horror movie, i'd probably use this cover in the most tense scene of movie. I subscribed lady.

[@BobDaniel]

This is beyond amazing!

[@frankpalumbo8384]

I think there is a business here! Well done.

[@kathysheppard7685]

Brilliant!!!!! LOVELOVELOVE!!!!

[@gatrevar]

Magnificent! Thank you so much. This reminds me of how, originally, musical instruments strived to imitate human voices. This rendition is a statement of the harmonic and timbrical richness humans can produce and how musical composition should aim to exploit these nuances in voices as well as instruments and synthesised sounds.

[@wirenoises]

Thank you for making this. 🙏

[@bfposner]

Fantastic. A human and technological triumph.

[@dikbozo]

methinks Mr. Fripp will approve of this. Light and lovely. Kudos.

[@ivanyiattila3547]

Very great production!

[@Iracord]

Please play live in LA again!!! Loved Sell Out... Possible to do this with the new 32-bit Boss RC500 looper (has drums too).

[@diogobobsin]

this is definetely the most amazing recording I´ve always heard. it is so powerful, so complex, so well done, on such an amazing song. don´t have words to describe it. just thank you.

[@PetHaden]

Thank you so much!

[@diogobobsin]

for sure the best video I´ve seen this year. this is so amazing I can´t begin to describe it. beautiful work.

[@CarloTheImmortal]

Hey Petra not the right video but just wanted to tell you, your cover of Bach's Prelude is burned into my soul, I love it so much.

[@beckylink]

Brillant !!!!

[@charlesnolan7602]

44 years of listening to album RED... IT has taken me on some winding musical journeys!

[@guicasoamillo]

Great Ms. Haden, excellent version, awesome work. thanks for sharing

[@rol54321]

Tears of joy!

[@celsoescobar9630]

Congratulations ! Very good job !!!

[@usandthemakakelly2535]

I think this is Rachel Hadens sister! I love it!

[@MrGariac]

Félicitations (from france). You're amazing.

[@thesteve7397]

That rocks, Petra! ;-)

[@irishguy13]

I enjoyed this way too much.

[@AndrewLockwoodMusic]

So cool!

[@akustik_prog1601]

Your creativity to do this a-cappella cover is simply stunning. KC is my # 1 band since I bought ITCOTCK album back then and seen them in concerts all the times I could. You delivered beyond my expectations. Brava ! Well done!

[@PiperbonesJ]

Just incredible. Robert posted it in January of 2022...just...incredible. How many hours of rehearsal did this take and how many voices are blending here...

[@sergio_slzar]

Hope choral music worldwide gets this direction in the future

[@MaxChrisinJapan]

Great sound. 👍 wow so awesome. Love this.

[@ericgrundmann9985]

Merveilleuse interprétation chorale.

[@jm131719]

Oh my goodness!!! Perfect rendition. Thanks.

[@markharwood7573]

Stunning.

[@garybelniak1231]

What a wonderful piece of work.. who would have thought of this besides you!

[@instantdogma]

This is just beautiful.

[@jamesnicholson7221]

I've heard this song, by Krim.. so many times. Ever hear of Basia? you remind me of her. May Robert invite you over for tea 1 time for all your efforts

[@andybarbera743]

This is brilliant! Thank you! The transparency you bring to the harmonies is beautiful!

[@airstrive6246]

Absolutely inspired and so well done! Massive thumbs up from this Crim fan. Thank you so much for this!

[@RichieG]

Discovered you tonight as your KC a-cappella works were showcased as the pre-show music at the Three of a Perfect Pair show in Woodstock. Fantastic! Thank you for these!

[@agerven]

I'm working on a keyboard version of Red and, hoping you don't mind, i'm using your a-cappella to find all the right notes and harmonies. Your interpretation is very accurate and without all ambience, delays and reverbs. It is crystal clear!

[@johnhowardnardine6815]

Wow! Some things are different than the original; some embellish and take this new very interesting places the original didn't. Definitely stands as a worthy interpretative piece of music in its own right.

[@natfandaggy]

Superbly sensuous in every detail Petra !

[@Boojumish]

Atonishing! This really should be reaching a wider audience.

[@mtc3000]

Magnificent!!

[@davidfsnyder]

Awesome!! How about a cover of Level Five?

[@homebusinesssuccesschannel]

Incredible! Thank you for this.

[@chessaraya]

Awesome beyond words!

[@Romchikthelemon]

Бесподобно.

[@WizardOfArc]

🙇‍♂️ so jealous that you recorded this - so amazing

[@annehusick6412]

This is AMAZING!! 🥰 Red is one of my fave records ever and I love this stellar and unique interpretation of KC's work. WOW!!

[@blankfrancine]

This is wonderful!

[@matteodinca]

I've been trying to forget the original song while listening to this wonderful version. It seemed to me like holy music from an hyper evolved women-conducted civilization with vegetables as gods. Could be.

[@linocabrera6740]

Alucinante 👍

[@priyas.8141]

Oh my God. This is so fabulous! It's such a difficult song to cover. Please try to cover Montana or Inca roads by Frank Zappa. I know it's crazy, but after listening to your covers I believe you're an acapella goddess.

[@rexsruins]

stunning

[@doctornerve]

Staggering. THANK-YOU

[@stevebartley8048]

lovely!...and then some!

[@philgallagher7090]

Thank you! We are waiting for "Sratless" the song

[@wfermier]

This is so very, VERY good!

[@RomanMoisseyev]

Nice. How about Vroom (from "Thrak" 1995)?

[@JoeDeanPedro]

Love this so much. What a great effort!

[@christopherquinn3769]

Absolutely awesome!!

[@vintagerumors]

fantastic and really brave :)

[@theresakiefer-taylor4543]

And I thought that I was the only one who did this!! Haha -- an excellent rendition!

[@auralanjuhl]

Exquisite!! I'm dying to hear you tackle Beck's Bolero or maybe Mars from Holst's Planet Suite.

[@haycaosahibord]

Amazing!!

[@bellfoozwell]

This is fantastic, Petra. I'd love to hear more King Crimson instrumentals done in your style.

[@robertkaye5434]

Oh please, oh please ... Do a cover of "Discipline" and "Lark's Tongues in Aspic Part 2"!

[@greatvaluesystems]

thats great!

[@ChrisHallGuitar]

this is so amazing what an incredible job to create such likeness to the original instruments with only vocals, and the lengthy middle section was done with as much patience and accuracy as all the rest, a stunning listen the whole way through

[@ChrisHallGuitar]

for some reason this posted on here instead of your sheltering sky video but this is one awesome too!

[@mikeherrman5653]

AMAZING!!!

[@bedmen]

Thanks for sharing this!

[@BenPrevo]

I really dig this ! You are great ! Thank you for the inspiration and fearlessness

[@jbeach2323]

Wow.

[@stefannelson]

Wow! What a treat to hear this. It is funny because when I listened to your Frame by Frame, I thought I hope she does Starless someday, a few weeks ago. This is the next best thing! Thank you.
